I only wish I had had these leashes when I was training my large German Shepard for the leash.  She was quite difficult to train.  Oftentimes, out of nowhere, while running with her, she would take off to the left or behind me after a rabbit or other varmint.  The shock when she hit the end of the leash was quite substantial.  Many times, I almost lost control of her.  It could have been very dangerous, as there was traffic around at the time.

However, the Bungee leashes have a unique design which allows the impact to be absorbed in the stretchable leash.  In other words, as your pet lunges one way or the other, you are not experiencing a sudden shock as they hit the end of the slack leash.  Instead, as the Bungee leash tightens it stretches, and exerts resistance on the dog.

This not only saves you from the severe jerking when they hit the end of the leash.  It also trains the dog better, as they feel that resistance in a more gradual method and return back to a slack leash.  If you need assistance in training your dog to be leash broken, the Bungee dog leashes are the way to go.

I like them in the winter time, because I can wear heavy gloves, and the snap design makes them easy to put on my dog without taking my gloves off.  I’ve been using one almost daily for over a year now.  Have actually kept it outside in the element.  And it shows virtually no signs of wear and tear.

These Bungee dog leashes come in various colors, and three foot, or six foot length.  We suggest getting a leash in the three foot length for normal running or walking with your dog.  We have leashes available for different sizes of dogs.  The small Bungee cord leashes have less tension in them.

Allowing the smaller dogs to experience the stretching of the Bungee dog leash as they have being trained.  Larger breed dog have a different Bungee dog leash for them.  Their tension, in those leashes are stronger.  We recommended the six foot leashes for leisurely walks without worrying too much about the dog staying by your side.

This is the third episode in the series of Barking. In this episode I will show you the beginning exercises on how to teach your dog not to bark on a walk. Stay tuned and Subscribe to see other exercises that are very useful for reactive dogs and dogs that are hyperactive. All these exercises benefit ANY dog, not just fearful, reactive or aroused dogs. These same exercises are GREAT for dogs with little impulse control, the kind of dog that wants to pull towards everything on a walk. ———————– When a dog becomes aroused or reactive, it is due to chemicals being released by the brain, effecting the dogs behavior. Not only does a dogs behavior change because of these chemicals and stress hormones, but their heart beat, respiration, and blood flow will change too. Jerking a dogs neck will not reduce these chemicals, instead it will INCREASE them. Barking can be reinforcing, so the more a dog is allowed to bark the more likely they will continue barking in the future. When you and your dog are surprised on a walk and your dog starts to bark, simply say “Let’s Go” and move briskly in the opposite direction. You can use this cue whenever you change direction unexpectedly or need to move from an area that is causing your dog to be over their threshold. Here are some tips: 1-when on a walk cross the street to set your dog up for success 2-If you have a very fearful or reactive dog, simply change the direction of your walk when you see something your dog wont be able …

How do you successfully train them not to bark at other dogs while on their walk without using shock collars or the like?

Thank you.

I was looking on how to train a dog to walk NICELY on a leash, without using choke collars or gentle leaders.

And what is the time frame to expect this to be done in?
I am walking OTHER PEOPLES dogs, and dont usually have the ability to buy and put on training enhancers while walking. Plus, I can only do this with their permission. Its a wide range of dogs from small little guys to weigh more than me girls.

I have my own dog, a young lab, which I use the gentle leader on, but I am not going to be having that be a community thing.

I am not fond of having to “hold a dog at my waist”
I feel the dog will never learn and honestly, if its a lab, he will be pulling something loose in my poor arm.
Oh, and I use a harness for my small dog, I am not clueless on the benifits of these, but I cannot use them, I dont have permission from the owners, nor do I have spares.

I have what the dog comes with, a collar. So please, I could use some advice that will help me in my situation.
